Cemetery Lane Announces 2022 Dates

Heritage Square Museum, Los Angeles, CA

Awesome news today for Halloween fans looking for a family-friendly event! Cemetery Lane—last year’s smash hit trick-or-treating and immersive Halloween experience—is coming back to the Heritage Square Museum in Los Angeles, and it’s expanding over two weekends! If you missed our review of the 2021 event, click here to see the wonderful and spooky ambiance that the folks behind Midsummer Scream and Sinister Pointe (among other talented haunted attraction producers) conjured up last year. We absolutely loved how this event captured the eerie and fun vintage spirit of the holiday!

This year, Cemetery Lane goes mid-century, to a time when The Addams Family, The Munsters, and The Twilight Zone reigned supreme. The even runs select dates from October 19 through 30th this year, and it’s bound to sell out again this year, just like it did last year. Tickets go on sale starting this Saturday, August 27th, so make sure to get yours while they’re still available.

Southern California has an endless wealth of Halloween attractions, but most of them are on the scary or intense side. Cemetery Lane offers an all-ages appeal that is a fitting alternative to those who can’t quite handle the frights and prefer something eerie and mysterious but still distinctly Halloween!

From the press release:

Cemetery Lane, SoCal’s New Halloween Trick-R-Treating Tradition, Adds a Second Weekend for 2022 Run

Tickets on sale, Saturday, August 27, for its highly anticipated return

LOS ANGELES, CA – The Cemetery Lane trick-r-treat experience returns to Heritage Square Museum in Los Angeles for select dates between October 19-30, 2022. Costumed visitors of all ages will make their way from home to home in the safely gated ‘neighborhood’ of Heritage Square Museum’s Victorian manors, which have been reimagined into a Halloween night from an era when the Addams Family, the Munsters and residents of the Twilight Zone joined millions of 1950’s and 1960’s American families in their homes each week.

“This year, guests will step back into the ‘50s and ‘60s when pop culture became obsessed with monster movies, as well as fascinated with the ‘horror hosts’ who permeated television airwaves late at night,” said David Markland, event Creator and Co-producer. 

The mid-century theme of this year’s Cemetery Lane will transport guests young and old to a time when horror comics and magazines like Famous Monsters of Filmland flew off the shelves, and the real-life fears generated by the Cold War caused many a nightmare.

After a completely sold out event for its first year in 2021, Cemetery Lane has expanded to two weekends, with hourly timed ticketing including daylight hours on Saturdays and Sundays so the younger ghouls and boils will have plenty of time to fill their candy buckets before darkness falls and the eeriness intensifies in the neighborhood of Cemetery Lane.

Guests should expect a 45-minute to one hour immersive experience, including 13 trick-r-treat stops, character interactions, photo-ops, a selection of spooky vendors to shop from, and a curated selection of food trucks, along with other surprises.

Cemetery Lane is resurrected by David Markland (Co-Founder and Executive Director of Midsummer Scream) and Claire Dunlap (Co-Founder/Supervising Producer of Midsummer Scream and Co-Creator/Producer of Spooky Swap Meet), with decor and effects provided by Jeff Schiefelbein (creator of Sinister Pointe Haunted Attraction).

Tickets go on sale Saturday, August 27 at 9 a.m PST. Admission cost before 6 p.m. is $27 and from 6 p.m on is $32. Toddlers two years and under, not trick-or-treating, are admitted for free. 

Event entry is located at 3515 Pasadena Avenue, Los Angeles, 90031. Absolutely no parking or entry is available for Cemetery Lane from Homer Street.
